The Bread and Cheese Hill on the A13
This is the same viewpoint as Image, but taken some eighteen months later. During this time there have been extensive roadworks along the A13 with some widening. The pavements have been considerably improved, but the road surface has not. Popular opinion is that this is all to do with the Mountain Biking event for the 2012 Olympics. Road access to this site, in the Hadleigh Castle Country Park, would have to pass along here.

Kents Hill Primary Schools
Kents Hill Primary Schools (infants and junior) lie right of centre. The buildings to the upper left of the school at the far end of the field is Holy Family Catholic Primary School. At the top left, The Appleton School buildings are just visible.
The fading at the bottom right is due to part of the aircraft obscuring the view.

Benfleet: Downer Road North
A road named after me! (Joking, of course.) The building with the skip in the car park is an eye clinic.

Aerial view of plotland south of London Road, Benfleet
Most of Benfleet's plotlands are well to the north of here. There is, however, a patch of plotland in central Benfleet. Like that further north, much of the open land here is used for horse grazing. The road running across the upper half is the A13 (London Road). The road running to the top from the centre of this is Rhoda Road North. Like many roads in this area, part of this is unmade. The woodland at the upper right is Coombe Wood. Part of this is secondary, but much has the characteristics of ancient woodland. The London Road alongside the wood begins a rise upwards from the London Clay flatlands to the left up to the Claygate and Bagshot Beds to the right of the photo. This stretch is known as the Bread and Cheese Hill (see Image, here Coombe Wood is on the right).
